Hey, I wouldn't worry too much. I had these types of pains for the first few weeks. I think it is just your body stretching etc to accommodate the baby! I am 12 weeks now with my first (got my scan on Monday!). Congratulations on your pregnancy. Fingers crossed for a happy and healthy 9 months ahead for you! xx
Congratulations hun, it sounds like the same as i have had recently I was told by epu to take a paracetamol and make sure i dont stress about anything and take it easy for a while it should be all be fine and will go away, its just your body adjusting. If it gets worse then to go to A and E hun, im 7 +1 weeks now and it comes and goes still just enjoy being pregnant and have a healthy 9 months xxx
I'm 4 weeks plus 3 days and I have had the same - sometimes quite powerful cramping, but nothing beyond bad period pains (which is where I normally call on my good friend ibuprofen.....so this has been a little hard to get used to for me!). Mine are also worse standing up - with the lovely weather we've been having, I've found an ice pack is really helpful (rather than a hot water bottle).
